## The rules

![Spy: view from the app](https://splashit.impulse-apps.de/img/screens/en/spion.webp)

1. ### Remember your place and role
   Check your location and job in turn. The Spy does not receive this information.
2. ### Ask clever questions
   Question each other about the location. Give believable answers without naming the place.
3. ### Expose the Spy
   Work out who is pretending to belong. The Spy loses if exposed, but wins immediately by guessing the location.

### A tip for your group

Ask about everyday situations rather than obvious landmarks. “What do you do here first?” can reveal more than a direct question about the place.
